As much as I'm a big fan of BBC Comedy (particularly the aforementioned titles), sorry mediocre telly addicts, I'm not buying this one !
For a start, 2 blokes selling dodgy stock on market is a bit of a random and unstable theme and setting, unlike other BBC sitcoms hat have more GENERAL themes (historical figures, average UK family, fashion industry narcissism, etc).
Comedy content? WHAT COMEDY CONTENT ?? All right, so the episode where they pass off Rodney as a 15-year-old to get the 3-for-2 offer at the holiday camp was quite funny, but otherwise what's so witty about this show? Drunken Delboy falling sideways on the pub floor; REALLY ? All completely mediocre !
Incidentally, I don't believe I'm alone here ! I think many select BBC Comedy fans like myself also consider this quite mediocre. I think much of its following was a merely CULT one; what you watched to be 'in' !
I'll give in a meager 3/10 for at least having the odd funny moment, or otherwise Un-PC moment; sure, you'd never get away with referring to the 2 mixed race blow-up dolls as 'Pepsi & Shirlie' nowadays !
